deleted selfie
the teenage emblem
of a stereotypical vision
a flash on a screen
edited with precision
emits narcissism
among people who judge
an image of yourself
makes some hold a grudge
and along with the post button
comes anticipation and pain
phone-dwellers scrolling past
confidence down the drain
questioning your beauty
without having someone by your side
insecurity in being the center of attention
where your imperfect face can’t hide
for a hundred likes
just aren’t enough
tears falling on a deleted picture
but hey,
that’s just the non-important teenager stuff.
